Rogue Legacy is a genealogical rogue-"LITE" where anyone can be a hero. Each time you die, your child will succeed you. Every child is unique. One child might be colorblind, another might have vertigo-- they could even be a dwarf. But that's OK, because no one is perfect, and you don't have to be to succeed.

Having trouble with the Remixes? Power up your heroes from the past and give yourself that extra edge! Be warned, the price is high.

Prosopagnosia trait has been added to the game. You are bad with faces.

Clonus trait added. You've got the shakes.

Thanatophobia, a new achievement has been added!

Complete the game in 15 lives or less to earn this super difficult achievement.

Achievement Hunters Grace Period has been added.

It wouldn't be fair to take away 100% Achievements from those who've already earned it. For a limited time, if you have all achievements except Thanatophobia, at the title screen, hold [L. ALT] + [CAPSLOCK] then press [T] to unlock it.

Mouse rebinding has been added.

2207 comments later and we finally got the message. I hope you degenerates are grateful!

About This Game

Rogue Legacy is a genealogical rogue-"LITE" where anyone can be a hero.

Each time you die, your child will succeed you. Every child is unique. One child might be colorblind, another might have vertigo-- they could even be a dwarf.

That's OK, because no one is perfect, and you don't have to be perfect to win this game. But you do have to be pretty darn good because this game is HARD. Fortunately, every time you die all the gold you've collected can be used to upgrade you manor, giving your next child a step up in life and another chance at vanquishing evil.

But you shouldn't listen to me. You should check out the trailer. It explains the game better then I ever could.

If you really want to READ about this game though, then you should check out our bullet list below.

Here's what Rogue Legacy IS:

A procedurally generated adventure. Explore new castles with every life.

Rogue-lite. Your character dies, but with each passing your lineage grows and becomes stronger.

Tons of unique traits that makes each playthrough special. Ever wanted to be dyslexic? Now you can!

More than 8 classes to choose from (9)! Each class has unique abilities that change the way you play the game.

Over 60 different enemies to test your skills against. Hope you like palette-swaps!
